Keep it real. Keep it Kosher. Keep it Jewish!
Burn down the Reform synagogoa

It's unique attitude towards start-up business has lead to the creation of one of the strongest high-tech parks in Israel including several international companies choosing to build their headquarters there, among them HP and SAP.

All thanks to the Ashkenaz front

The biggest immigrant community in the city is from South Africa. other immigrants known in the city are Americans, Australians, British, French and recently a large wave of Jewish immigrants from Argentina.

South Africans are indeed an handful........
Dont forget the Canadians

the local Ra'anana Park was the first of it's kind in the Sharon province, proving successful as it offers the community a variety of interactions such as a gym, a lake, open air amphitheater and a petting zoo. After the construction of the park in 1996 other cities in the Sharon joined in with the trend and built parks of their own.

Is that the park with the playground that has that enormous swing that you hold on and go from one end to the other?
I got escorted out of there......guess i was just too old for that kinda recreation (age: 24)

The amphitheater in the park hosted several theatrical acts, along with the city famous Symphonette Orchestra. The amphitheater also hosted several international musicians such as Seal, Pet Shop Boys, The Stranglers and E.L.O.

But most importantly, Ra'anana is where I grew up!

After you started intermarrying with the Parsit.......you dont dare call yourself a citizen of Ra'anana.......leave it to the true ashkenaz

Lod is a city 15 kilometers southeast of Tel Aviv in the Center District of Israel. At the end of 2011, it had a population of 74,000.
The name is derived from the Biblical city of Lod. When al-Ludd, as it was known by its Arab inhabitants was captured by Israel, the Arab inhabitants fled or were expelled and the city was settled by Jewish immigrants, most of them refugees from Arab countries. Of the former Arab population, only 1,056 inhabitants remained. It is today known as Lod, its biblical name.
Israel's main international airport, Ben Gurion International Airport (previously known as Lydda Airport, RAF Lydda, and Lod Airport) is located on the outskirts of the city.
